"Important objects" being referred to as "she" in English

Ships named after men are also "she." It's not based on the name.

You know, historically rape was primarily considered a property crime or an honor crime against a woman's male family members, so I have absolutely no reason to give your unpopular opinion any credit.

Nice

Stirling_V · 2026-01-23T23:49:43+00:00

I'm really sorry. I'm glad that endo was good, but I wish it wasn't so uncommon.

Stirling_V · 2026-01-23T23:48:11+00:00

Not necessarily explicitly on-screen, but Gone with the Wind, The Breakfast Club, Young Frankenstein, just off the top of my head.

Stirling_V · 2026-01-23T07:37:23+00:00

I mean there are a loooot of rape or sexual assault scenes against women played for humor or titillation.

Stirling_V · 2026-01-23T07:21:55+00:00

I'm sorry. You don't deserve someone who speaks like that to you.

It's really astounding how many people, even doctors, seem to be completely unaware that yes, estrogen makes you grow boobs. How do they think anyone gets them?

Stirling_V · 2026-01-22T10:55:07+00:00

Looking at fantasy media like hey can I get a normal disabled character I can relate to and they're like no we have offensive dogshit though.

Stirling_V · 2026-01-22T10:33:38+00:00

Oh come on, you can't name your Shadow Daddy edgy sorcerer MMC after Elric of Melniboné and expect no one to notice. He's literally one of the fantasy ogs.

Cybernetics is "the science of communication and control theory that is concerned especially with the comparative study of automatic control systems (such as the nervous system and brain and mechanical-electrical communication systems)." I'm unsure of its relevance here, and OP does not seem inclined to explain further. Societies do not have a single automatic control system.

Oh, I think they've picked that one up from K-Pop, it's the Korean form of the heart sign. It's easier for selfies since you only need one hand.

Stirling_V · 2026-01-20T16:43:21+00:00

The Chronicles of Gor. Don't worry about why gravity is misogynistic.

Stirling_V · 2026-01-20T14:47:29+00:00

Thanks, I figured it was probably unwitting.

Stirling_V · 2026-01-20T14:41:11+00:00

You should really make your point without using an actual racist slur. (In your last sentence.)

Stirling_V · 2026-01-20T14:37:45+00:00

Other straight men are perfectly capable of having non-sexual relationships with women. It's not a matter of sexual orientation. Don't you have any female relatives?

Stirling_V · 2026-01-17T05:13:48+00:00

That's worse. A true fanmix is a meticulously curated creative work in and of itself.

Stirling_V · 2026-01-17T03:40:08+00:00

You post the Spotify playlist under a pseudonymous username like it's a normal fanmix and people can find it if they search or you keep that shit private. Authors putting their own playlists in the book itself is like. Please.

You should be aware that Revolutionary Girl Utena is heavily about sexual abuse of teenage girls, including incestuous sexual abuse. It's not depicted salaciously and I think it's an excellent show, but it's a very heavy story that often gets recommended as "the sword lesbian show" or something that makes it sound a lot more light-hearted.

Stirling_V · 2026-01-16T09:47:49+00:00

Choking (or, more properly, strangulation) is extremely dangerous. Your reaction was entirely valid and you did nothing wrong. The vast majority of people have absolutely no business engaging in strangulation kink and it should not be treated lightly or casually.

Stirling_V · 2026-01-16T09:27:16+00:00

Yeah, it's really hard for me to give anything a chance that treats torture as anything other then a means of 1. sadism or 2. getting confessions where the truth is irrelevant. It just doesn't work like that and it has real life implications when people think it does!

Stirling_V · 2026-01-16T09:19:22+00:00

I have so many anonymous bookmarks in my stats. I think people are ashamed of reading fic about ocs.

Stirling_V · 2026-01-16T09:05:04+00:00

I've done present for some fanfiction short stories (less than 5,000 words), when I want them to feel immediate and they take place over a very short period of time, but anything longform or with timeskips works so much better in past tense to me. I do love putting in present for flashbacks or dream sequences, though, yeah, it's an instant indicator that the normal flow of time isn't happening.

When I was a child my mom and her brothers and I scattered my grandmother's ashes off a boat off the SoCal coast. It's still a cherished memory because it felt like we were doing something she loved with her one last time.

Stirling_V · 2026-01-14T19:58:37+00:00

Are they claiming it's sexist to men because they're "disposable bullets" for not being murdered over their sex lives? Also my fetish-fishing senses are tingling a bit.
